China now has a lot of donors for plasma with antibodies. That's why they can stop the shutdown and start tracing outbreaks and treating patients.

I replaced a handwritten lexer of a proprietary PDF library with a re2c generated lexer. Besides fixing a bunch of dormant bugs, the resulting lexer was much faster. Also the state of c++ std regex implementations is pretty sad (at least it

Things I don't understand about the US ... why does not most advanced western nation not have a socially fair health care system. E.g. in germany, the price of health care is proportional to income.

While the words in the articles are public domain, the bits in the files are not. So to free the articles, you have to take the bits, turn them into the words and then encode those into bits again.

Remember that WebGL is also a security nightmare. Shaders are fed to the GPU driver. The driver contains a compiler and compiles the shaders into the GPU specific ISA. The GPU that runs that code is a PCIe device with full DMA access. What

I think it's not profitable. I work in Berlin and commute to work by public transport every day. You currently pay 60EUR if you get caught and I get checked at least twice a week. Repeated offenders pay more and get additional sanction

Increasing the ISO is just a multiplication of the raw sensor value - it doesn't lead to more noise - it just makes it visible to the human eye. Also on my DSLR I can see all kinds of stripes and cross patterns in the noise, so a lot o

It's not that simple. Some years ago I used an analog TV card tuned to an empty channel that was giving seemingly white noise and captured frames to generate entropy. I only used the least significant bit of each RGB value of each pixe

The Nintendo Switch is basically a nVidia Jetson TX1 (4xA57@1GHz) with some additional parts and a nice plastic packaging. That's comparable to a RasPi 3 except for the GPU. The costs are probably a bit more then 30$ of a raspi but it&

Most bigger US cities look and feel like Disneyworld compared to Berlin (including SF). Yet, you are much safer there. Dirt is not the problem.

I bought an AMD card for my Linux desktop this year, because they have better open source drivers then nVidia :) Before that, I bought nVidia or Intel. It's a good feeling to run without that ugly nvidia-drivers blob.

If you want to see this in action, just visit the CCC event. People regularly manage to DoS (or just overload, I don't know) even the DHCP servers. So at some point all you will get from the network is a little wooden peg with a number

OSX gets it right? Yeah, by delaying many security updates. I admit though when they do updates, you barely notice.

Your are right, of course. Maybe what I wanted to express was more like this: TP-Link has a sloppy attitude towards the security of their stock firmware. It might work, but it is full of security holes. HTTPS and checksums/signatures w

I consider that a feature ;) TP-Link plastic routers have nice cheap hardware and they make it really easy for you to flash it with LEDE/OpenWRT.

I had to work with a lot of open and close source. From my experience there is an equal amount of good and bad code on both sides of the fence. It depends more on the age of the codebase and the respective engineering techniques.

I think this is more often referred to as the 80/20 rule. The precise ratio is not that important. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle

ah, so there is mm3-128-32 and mm3-128-64 that makes it actually a viable alternative to MD5

I have not looked deeply at mmhash3 (I guess it means murmurhash3), but wikipedia says: [...] When using 128-bits, the x86 and x64 versions do not produce the same values [...] which will make it unsuitable for cross-platform applications.

As a dev you should take a look at the difference of hashes/s of the different algorithms. Some are measured in GH/s, some in MH/s, some only kH/s. E.g. MD5 is way faster then SHA256. So if you only use a strong hash for
